Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate
TLDR
It is conjecture that the use of a fixed-length vector is a bottleneck in improving the performance of this basic encoder-decoder architecture, and it is proposed to extend this by allowing a model to automatically (soft-)search for parts of a source sentence that are relevant to predicting a target word, without having to form these parts as a hard segment explicitly.Abstract:
Neural machine translation is a recently proposed approach to machine translation. Unlike the traditional statistical machine translation, the neural machine translation aims at building a single neural network that can be jointly tuned to maximize the translation performance. The models proposed recently for neural machine translation often belong to a family of encoder-decoders and consists of an encoder that encodes a source sentence into a fixed-length vector from which a decoder generates a translation. In this paper, we conjecture that the use of a fixed-length vector is a bottleneck in improving the performance of this basic encoder-decoder architecture, and propose to extend this by allowing a model to automatically (soft-)search for parts of a source sentence that are relevant to predicting a target word, without having to form these parts as a hard segment explicitly. With this new approach, we achieve a translation performance comparable to the existing state-of-the-art phrase-based system on the task of English-to-French translation. Furthermore, qualitative analysis reveals that the (soft-)alignments found by the model agree well with our intuition.read more

Efficient Attention: Attention with Linear Complexities.
TL;DR: A novel efficient attention mechanism is proposed, which is equivalent to dot-product attention but has substantially less memory and computational costs and democratizes attention to complicated models, which were unable to incorporate original dot- product attention due to prohibitively high costs.

Learning long-term dependencies with gradient descent is difficult
TL;DR: This work shows why gradient based learning algorithms face an increasingly difficult problem as the duration of the dependencies to be captured increases, and exposes a trade-off between efficient learning by gradient descent and latching on information for long periods.

A neural probabilistic language model
TL;DR: The authors propose to learn a distributed representation for words which allows each training sentence to inform the model about an exponential number of semantically neighboring sentences, which can be expressed in terms of these representations.
